Abstract
Many of us find connections between environmental problems and national or global security insignificant. However, the past years showed growing understanding for potential interdependence between environmental degradation and its influence on widely understood security. Environmental degradation and contamination, transport of hazardous materials, as well as inequitable access to natural resources in transboundary areas increase the probability of conflict and could cause risk to humans or even to an entire nation. The next extremely sensitive problem is the management and protection of water resources in transboundary areas.
